OFFICE BLUES — PRIVACY

We're not in the surveillance business.

Your employer does enough of that. What we keep is minimal and anonymized — enough to tell whether a page works, not enough to tell who you are. No ad trackers. No profile of you. Nothing sold. Here's the actual deal.

What we keep

• Anonymized usage events. When you use the site we record a coarse signal — which page, what kind of action (e.g. that the Meeting Tax Calculator ran), a coarse country, a random per-session token, and a one-way salted hash of your connection. We use it to see what's working. None of it is tied to your name or email, and the hash can't be reversed back to you.
• Your email — only if you subscribe or buy. Those are the only times you hand us anything on purpose. See below.

What we don't do: no third-party advertising trackers or pixels, no cross-site profile, and we don't sell or rent your data to anyone.

If you subscribe

The newsletter form posts your email to our mailing-list provider. At signup we also pass your IP to their firewall once — so they can judge the actual visitor instead of seeing every signup arrive from the edge — and then we discard it. We keep no separate copy of your email; the list lives with the provider. Every send carries an unsubscribe link, and unsubscribing removes you from the list.

If you buy

Stripe runs the checkout; we never see your card. Stripe sends us the email you gave at checkout so we can deliver the script. If you buy the personalized version, the answers you type into the form are stored only to build your PDF: deleted after 24 hours if you don't pay, and 30 days after delivery if you do. We don't sell them or use them for anything else.

If this changes

Same-commit rule: if we change what we collect, this page changes in the same commit as the code.
